hi , just letting you know that your cousin Kevin Donnelly died suddenly while refereeing a ladies football match about 2 weeks ago. .should have let you know sooner . Kevin was just 55 and a fitness fanatic. and never complained of pain of any sort, but you may remember his cousin Oliver also dropped dead a few years ago. Kevin was the eldest son of Pat and Eileen, who both died within the last 4 years . he was married to Concepta McGuigan and they had 2 children , Shane married to Karen McGahan and Carmel who has a partner . there are 2 grandchildren. Kevin lived in the city until 3 years ago when he moved out to Middletown , into a lovely new bungalow, in the middle of the country. there was a large attendance at the funeral , as he had trained a few football teams and was well known in the GAA circles . his job was working for Annvale joinery (window and door making) . altho I qwas at the funeral didn`t have much time to talk to Sean or Kathy but hope to see them at the Months Mind Mass this month. Thomas , who lives in Sydney was not able to get home as his wife was in hospital . that`s all for now Denis this would hvve been about sept 11 08 or so. Another unknown cousin characteristic of the entire irish race this last century. I figure Kevin was born in 53 so 16 in 69 so probaly one of those david and goliath people but he probably went from the family desease High Blood Pressure and a stroke. take the bp folks. and will light a candle next time go by the Church jdl |
